It seems that I really need ALTQ.
Here I try to describe my needs more detailed:
On other side of PPP interface (4) I'll have two clients, 4.1 and 4.2
I'll have the following data flows in my system (sorted by priority)
1. Internet via (1) <-> 3; (highest priority)
2. 3 <-> 4.1;
3. Internet via (1) <-> 4.2;
4. Internet via (1) <-> 2;

I need to make rules like: if we have packet from 3 to Internet, all other
will wait;
If we have packet from 3 to 4.1 via PPP, other PPP traffic (to 4.2) will
wait. etc

I suppose that the hardest part will be to regulate incoming traffic from 1.
On opposite side of 2,4 I plan to setup FreeBSD routers with ALTQ - this
should help me.

Thanks in advance,
